Partnerships:
The Puyallup School District has partnered with Pacific Lutheran University, Pierce College, and Northwest Educational Development to create several non-traditional pathways for our current classified staff, emergency substitute employees, and community members to become fully certificated teachers. Each of these programs is designed with the working professional in mind. Our goal in creating these partnerships is to provide a variety of options that are flexible, affordable, help prospective teachers apply new learning and skills in a practical manner, meet district need, and result in positive employment opportunities.

The Puyallup School District, in partnership with our diverse communities, educates and inspires students to reach their full potential.
